Apple's voice assistant Siri can make everyday life easier. On call, she notes calendar entries, calls contacts or reports on how the weather is going. But that's not all: Since iOS 10, Siri can even send messages via WhatsApp without you having to write yourself. This can be helpful when driving a car, for example. You can read here how it works.
